Where does the time go? ✍🏻✈️

 

Almost six years ago my youngest sister was finishing her High School studies and was then that I realized how fast time goes. That day was a mix of emotions and memories, I was 22 years old and I was finished high school 4 years ago (in 2012), the last of the 3 of us in complete secondary and starting the long way towards university studies.


Coming back to the present, my sister now is finishing her last year of medical school, and in the future weeks she is going to start the "internship" in a hospital. I am so proud of her, and all the goals that she achieve until now. She has 24 years old and is the most clever and sometimes (the most of the times xd) mature of the family. On the day of the event, I was remembering the last day in 2016 when she finished high school, it seem like was yesterday, the time flies (literally).


Now I'm 27, one of my sisters is married and the last of us is going to be a doctor in the next years. I'm happy but a little bit sad because we don't know how life is gonna be in the future, maybe it teach us many lessons and difficulties on this path, I only expect to have my family with me.


I'm not the same young that I was 6 years ago or that stronger and pretty funny kid that I was when I finished high school, every year has been changing me, sometimes for worse and others for good. That is the essence of life, changing and going further and knowing new goals in our lives.


I want to finish this blog, by thanking her for all the things that I shared with my sister. She knows that I love her, and I would like to give her my best wishes and congrats for all her goals that she achieves. And I would like to thank life for putting me in the way of the two fantastic women.


I only would like to know what is next that life has prepared for me in the future...

Working life has introduced me to a whole spectrum of folks, spanning different ages and backgrounds. It's fascinating how age can influence the dynamics within a group. Back in college, my peers were typically within the same age range as me, roughly 20 to 25. But stepping into the workforce erased that age barrier entirely.  In my interactions, I've noticed some distinct patterns. The younger crowd tends to wear their hearts on their sleeves, valuing ideas and relationships above all else. On the flip side, the older and mid-life crew often prioritize climbing the career ladder and accruing material success. Bosses come in all shapes and ages too. Seasoned veterans bring a calm, empathetic vibe to the table, having seen it all before. On the other hand, the millennial bosses I've encountered can be a bit more... fiery. They're quick to react and slow to forgive, making them a bit of a challenge to work with. Sure, millennials might be shaking things up and spearheadin...

Another trip twelve years later

It has been a while since I finished high school, those were some of the best moments I have ever lived, my high school had a vast surface extension, many buildings and sections, and many classrooms crowded with hundreds of students. There, I studied for almost six years, I met good friends, some love and splendid moments that bring me a smile each time I recall. I never thought I missed my time there, when I was a teenager I swore I'd never turn back my sight to that place, now twelve years later I come back to the place that built me as a person. Last weekend, I had to work as an assistant for the referendum election in my country, as the last time I worked in the same position, I already knew what that job meant. To my surprise, the place was my old high school. I felt a nostalgia mixed with foreignness, I was part of that place for many years, but I felt like a stranger when I came back, many places were stagnant in time. I could visit my first classrooms just to find they were...

Prioritizing my to-do list

Since I started to document and follow my routine, endless things undone have reminded me that I need to make them time because they are also important. This feeling generates a guilty sentiment and anxiety for not giving them enough attention. But how do I prioritize among many significant things? Doing exercise is important, eating healthy too, studying and applying for jobs are equally important, but what receives more attention? what is not essential? This situation of deciding what requires more attention has put me in a challenging situation. Do I need to sacrifice my exercise routine to study more? What if I focus only on one thing at a time? While I worked my English routine decreased, and my motivation to study too, because as I mentioned before I was putting more time into either working or exercising. I thought I would have more time to do many things when I was younger, but the reality was different. Being an adult means you need to put some dreams aside if you want to avoi...
